wonder why you didn't enter this one in the last contest - this is outstanding!

Thanks for the support.

I missed the cut-off by a few days with this one, but I'm pleased with the way it came out.

Textures are amazing in this close up. Also enjoy the angle of your composition, the floral details are a pleasure.

Thank you for that. Being able to view them like this makes them all the more amazing to me. Has anyone noticed how their entire weight is suspended from "ankles" that can't be more than a few hair widths in thickness. The connective tissue must be tremendously strong and I wonder how it compares to that other high tensile strength heavyweight, spider silk.
